Rhythmbox Chromecast
Stream all your local music to your Chromecast (Audio).
Installation:
First make sure you've installed python-pip.
Run this script (You can also use it to update it):
Or manually
```bash $ cd ~/.local/share/rhythmbox/plugins/ $ git clone https://github.com/KeizerDev/Rhythmbox-Chromecast.git chromecast $ cd chromecast/ $ pip install -r requirements.txt ```After that you have to update the Prefs.py file with your preferred settings. This is a quick fix because of the lack of a decent GUI. Will be fixed soon!
Milestones:
- Connect to a Chromecast.
- Play/Pause music with button/media buttons.
- Send local music to your chromecast.
- Create a GUI where you can select/connect to your chromecast.
- Create a settings menu for port and ip settings.
- Create support for other plugins that are not local.
- Listen to Rhythmbox volume manager and change it on the chromecast.
- Mute rhythmbox locally (or give option to do so).
Optional:
- Create support for multiple chromecasts
Known bugs:
- When starting Rhythmbox with the plugin or when you enable it, it will freeze for a while. This because it will auto connect to the chromecast you've filled in the Prefs.py file. This will be fixed when we have a GUI.
